Shorebird

The Shorebird Team

We at Shorebird, a developer tools company founded by the creators of Flutter, have raised a $3M seed round led by [Dan Levine of Accel](https://www.accel.com), with participation from leading founders and operators across the ecosystem.

Shorebird helps businesses succeed with Flutter. We started this journey by solving one of the biggest pain points in mobile development: slow release cycles. Our first product, Code Push, enables developers to deliver instant over-the-air updates directly to users of Flutter apps across iOS, Android, and Desktop Systems. Already, millions of users receive updates powered by Shorebird every day.

## Expanding Products and People

With this round, Shorebird has been able to accelerate product development, start its team, and expand its platform beyond Code Push. Most recently, we launched our second product [Shorebird CI](/blog/introducing-shorebird-ci), a zero-config continuous integration system built exclusively for Flutter and Dart. We are currently [hiring for a few new roles](/jobs), and are excited to bring more talented people into the team to help build faster, support more customers, and invest even more in the Flutter ecosystem.

“Mobile development has always lagged behind the web when it comes to speed of iteration,” said Eric Seidel, CEO of Shorebird and creator of Flutter. “Shorebird is here to change that. With Code Push and now Shorebird CI, we’re making Flutter development faster, more reliable, and better aligned with how modern teams build software.”

“We’re excited to back Shorebird at this very early stage,” said [Dan Levine, Partner at Accel](https://www.accel.com/people/daniel-levine#bay-area). “Eric and the team bring unmatched expertise as the original builders of Flutter. Shorebird is solving a critical challenge for millions of developers and companies, and the early traction they have proves this is a category-defining opportunity.”

## About Shorebird

Founded in 2023 and based in San Francisco, Shorebird builds products to help businesses succeed with Flutter. Our flagship service, Code Push, enables instant app updates without app store delays. Shorebird was founded by Eric Seidel, creator of Flutter, alongside Felix Angelov (creator of Bloc and Mason) and a small team of influential Flutter contributors.
